STEIFF 'L'Ours La Vie en Rose' - White Tag 660436 - Musical, Limited Edition

The Steiff "L'Ours La Vie en Rose" Teddy Bear is a charming and highly sought-after France-exclusive limited edition, released in 2002. Beautifully crafted from soft, wavy blonde mohair, this elegant collector's bear stands 26cm (10 inches) tall and captures the timeless romance of the famous French song that inspired its name.

Featuring bright black eyes, a short mohair-covered muzzle, cream felt paw pads, and finely hand-stitched black nose, mouth, and claws, this delightful bear showcases the exceptional craftsmanship for which Steiff is renowned. A delicate pale apricot organza ribbon is tied in a graceful bow around the bear's neck, adding to its refined appearance.

When wound, the fully functioning musical mechanism plays the classic melody "La Vie en Rose", making this bear a truly special display piece. Produced in a strictly limited edition worldwide, this example is numbered 1234 of 1500 and is a retired collector's item rarely found complete.

The bear retains its original white ear tag (660436), gold-plated Button in Ear, and distinctive metal France 2002 chest tag. It comes complete with its embroidered drawstring storage bag, Certificate of Authenticity, and original outer carton.

A beautiful and collectible Steiff musical bear, combining French elegance, limited-edition rarity, and the enduring quality of one of the world's most prestigious teddy bear makers.
